I can buy a home that is close to work/school (to save time and money and avoid polluting) — or a home that is nice to live in (spacious, bright, quiet, on a pretty neighbourhood).
I don't seem to be able to do both without going astray from #FIRE.

I love the warmth, colors, the welcoming feel, the magical atmosphere. Exactly what I wanted to convet with Glider!

You've seen the Stable Diffusion AI art all over Twitter.
But how does Stable Diffusion _work_?

Millones de mamíferos superiores viviendo y muriendo en condiciones deplorables cada año, y queremos salvar a Laika.
…y por este tipo de idioteces no puedo llamarme yo «antiespecista».
Ningún animal no humano se va a sentir ofendido por usar el masculino genérico para referirse a él. Pista: no saben leer.
Las vidas de los animales (humanos o no) no son valores absolutos. Si hay que sacrificar a un señor de Murcia para evitar una hecatombe nuclear, lo correcto y moral es hacerlo. Si es muy conveniente (o sea: si las alternativas son enormemente caras o ineficaces) enviar a una perra (o a veinte) al espacio y dejar que muera allí para asegurarnos de que los primeros humanos que hagan lo mismo podrán volver a salvo, lo correcto y moral es hacerlo.
50 años después de la última misión a la luna, el ser humano volverá en las misiones Artemis I,II y III. La carrera espacial en deuda con Laika, H...

_World Day for the End of #Speciesism_
(I don't like “speciesism”: I suspect as an idea it is wrong, and a bad concept to try to rally people around. But I'm a #vegetarian/#vegan, and whatever draws attention to animal welfare is a push in the right direction.)
> _“**The core of effective altruism** is the [Drowning Child scenario](https://newint.org/features/1997/04/05/peter-singer-drowning-child-new-internationalist). The world is full of death and suffering. Your money (or time, or whatever resource you prefer to spend) could fix more of it than you think — one controversial analysis estimates $5,000 to save a life. You would go crazy if you tried to devote 100% of your time and money to helping others. But if you decide to just help when you feel like it or a situation comes up, you’ll probably forget. Is there some more systematic way to commit yourself to some amount between 0% and 100% of your effort (traditionally 10%)? And once you’ve done that, how do you make those resources go as far as possible? This is #EffectiveAltruism, the rest is just commentary.”_

@gasull it's been around for a couple years now, but nobody noticed it wasn't human.
